A

It’s
no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact
with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts
think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what
sports are suitable for you.

Highly Sensitive

Highly
sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team
sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they
may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine
Aron.

For
such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and
hiking are ideal.

Type A Personality

Type
A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This
personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention
being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a
fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.

To
get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an
exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more
flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.

Type B Personality

This
laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them
from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and
energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes
them anxious

Type
B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports
and group gym classes may be perfect.

Remember,
there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs,
regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.

21. Why might
highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?

A.
They will feel like they are being evaluated.

B.

They don't consider themselves to be athletic.

At
first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl fromEnglandappears
to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play
with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first
musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length
opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her
parents downplay her extraordinary talent, youngAlmais being described as “little Mozart” by
the music world

Alma’s operatic
take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a
slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming
through a song. “In my Cinderella,
she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually,
the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end
of the ballad.”

The
opera was first performed inVienna,Australiaon
December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between
the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius
has since performed two new piano works, once inAustraliaand the other inChina.

While
this may appear to be a lot for someone so young,Almais not worried. She says, “Of course I
have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least
when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my
whole opera put on stage.

Alma’s musical
talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that
as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the
children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little
Star.

However,Alma’s abilities
only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a
video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with
media requested andAlmabecame an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her
parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl.
They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.

Almadoes not want to be
compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I
prefer to be littleAlma.”
Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world
of music forever!
